Not that we worry often about miles per gallon..
But my new 04 open top seems to get alot worse fuel mileage than my 99 did. I drove 200 miles on the high-way at 70-73 mph and used all the fuel in my main tank 25 gallons...8mpg? I remember getting 13-14 on the highway with the 99...am I imagining this or does this 8 mpg seem very low on the highway on crusie control.

That seems a little low, wouldn't know how to diagnose that big of a drop though.

If it makes you feel any better, my 95 gas gets 7-9 mpg...

Could it be the hot summer?
